The model yacht Pond is unique in several ways in my search.
It's the closest enclosed body of water to my home.
It's surrounded by trees and lawns, but
it's on an island in the middle of Mission Bay.

It is filled (and refreshed daily) with salt water, through a conduit.
Hence the pond has tiny sharks, rays and other marine life.
It's also curiously numbered "Pond 29A" which means

It's for use only by radio-controlled boats operated by skippers from shore.

Unrelated to this pond and only about 100 yards away,
is the tropical lagoon at the heart of Paradise Point Resort
(formerly known as to the world as Vacation Village).
I will share some images of the lagoon.
This Google maps shows many ponds on the hotel grounds.
